Why study Medical Biotechnology?

Combine theory and practice to examine the core scientific principles, techniques and processes that underpin how biotechnology is used to drive advances in modern medicine.

Study core courses across medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, pharmacology, genetics and bioinformatics. You will gain hands-on experience in the laboratory and with application of bioinformatics tools.

Learn how new diagnostic devices and equipment are developed and used to accurately identify diseases.

Examine how genetics underpins personalised medicine leading to treatment tailored for the individual.

Advance your knowledge of how therapies based on small molecules, biologics, stem cells and other technologies are identified, selected and developed through preclinical and clinical testing into marketed therapeutics.
